Has no one thought to check the mailbox or the UPS truck? That's where you normally find snakes, isn't it? I would think that our federal government would have some sort of snake-catching information clearinghouse to assist local law enforcement in these difficult times.

I suppose the same people that find children and the elderly being trampled as funny find snake news items as the same. I don't. I also suppose these same people would think of me as a fifth columnist if they knew what it meant.

Not all of us who think the helpless being trampled enjoy snake news items, and we resent the implication. In fact, I think you are the fifteenth columnist, if you count how many people have posted before you. (Some people are soooooooo clueless).

Oh, and neatfreak, I am getting a funny looking spread, but that could be because I'm approaching 40.

I'm too tired to be funny today, but I would just like to say, Mrs. Swooshman, if you're out there, thank you for the frozen washcloth suggestion. I can only take pain pills with food, and I've been sick to my stomach to the point where nothing's staying down, so I've spent half the day with two frozen washcloths tied around my head with a scarf Jacob Marley style. And thanks again for all the advice and good wishes everyone. Goodnight.

"Fifth column refers to any clandestine group of people which works covertly inside of a nation to undermine its strength (psychological warfare) while the nation is simultaneously suffering an overt attack by a foreign power or another faction in a civil war."
